All settled in...

Well we are all settled into to the hotel for summer project! I arrived with Mama and Daddy at three this afternoon to check in. I soon met some of my new roommates, Caroline and Laura! After we moved in, I went with Mama and Daddy to look for a bike.  After going to two Wal-Marts we finally found the bike I had been looking for...Bless their hearts they were so ready to get back on the road and they ended up staying an extra hour or two so I was able to go ahead an get the bike now...Thank you both so much for your help and everything you did today. Love y'all!

I arrived back at the hotel where I met my Bible study group for this summer and my other roommate, Elaine! We all had some pizza and introduced ourselves to one another.  I am so excited to grow in the word together with these girls! I was also excited to find out one of our leaders is a UNC graduate I met my freshman year at Carolina and will be back at UNC on Campus Crusade staff in the fall and  will also be helping with the Bible study I will help with this year!

We then had a small orientation to go over some of the logistics for the summer and then afterwards had an ice cream get together with everyone...it was great getting to know a lot of the staff and students! Originally we were supposed to have it outside but because of the rain, we had it under the parking deck of the hotel and it's so funny because the first Campus Crusade event I ever went to at Carolina, Freshman Picnic, was under a parking deck due to the rain!

Afterwards, I went with some of the new people I met to get a few groceries afterwards at my favorite grocery store in the world! It's a Harris Teeter down town that used to be an old train station! It was so fun just getting to talk and go to the grocery store with people from different parts of the country as we talked about the different way we pronounce certain words, whether or not we call a coke pop, soda, or a fountain drink, whether we say "you guys" or y'all" and the list goes on...some of them had never even heard of Harris Teeter so it was our first fun little adventure of the summer. :) 

I am so excited to see what tomorrow brings as we will be learning more about our summer jobs! Thank y'all so much for your prayers and encouragement. I am so excited to fall more in Love with Jesus through this process! Good night. :)
